Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides essential food assistance to low-income households in New Lenox, IL, ensuring that families have access to the nutritious food they need each month. This entitlement program offers benefits through the Illinois Link Card, a convenient debit card designated for purchasing food products, empowering individuals and families to maintain their dietary needs. SNAP benefits cover a wide array of food items intended for human consumption, excluding hot meals, with eligibility determined by household income and size. As we adapt to the ongoing challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, we encourage all applicants to utilize online and telephone services to apply for assistance, ensuring safety and accessibility. Currently, all SNAP recipients will receive the maximum benefit amount to support them during this time.
